This is determined by whether a person’s intoxication is so obvious that it would be recognized by a reasonably prudent person. My analysis focuses on identifying objective evidence of impairment—such as staggering, slurred speech, or significantly altered behavior—that a server should have observed.
Idaho law primarily targets those who “furnish” alcohol, which can, in some circumstances, include social hosts, especially if the service is to a minor. However, cases against commercial licensees are more common under the statute.
